0:00.0	Hi History Makers, Eric here. A few months ago we launched Making Gay History's Patreon
0:06.0	channel, a place where we're sharing new video interviews never before heard clips from
0:10.5	my archive that didn't make it into the episodes and more. If you're not a member of our Patreon
0:15.3	community yet, I hope you'll join today. Just $5 a month gets you access to these Making
0:20.7	Gay History extras, and you'll support us as we work to bring LGBTQ history to life
0:26.2	through the voices of the people who lived it. Find out more at patreon.com slash Making
